Response/Rating (1-4): **** David Adler has brought humor and mystery to the Bones series and this book is no exception. The story of Jeffrey using his detective skills to find his grandpa’s missing birthday present is cute, humorous, and educational as students who read this book will be able to take away how to use their own detective skills to solve problems. This book is a great read for children who are ready for longer books.
One question you would ask before a read aloud: Have you ever solved a mystery before?
